TO DISLIMN MEANS "TO BECOME DIM OR INDISTINCT," FADING AWAY LIKE IT WAS NEVER THERE. BUILT FROM THE PREFIX "DIS-" PLUS THE OLD VERB "LIMN," MEANING "TO PAINT OR SKETCH," IT HAS LONG DESCRIBED PICTURES, OUTLINES, AND EVEN MEMORIES SLOWLY DISAPPEARING. NOW YOU HAVE A FITTING WORD FOR WHEN THE LATEST CHALK MASTERPIECE ON THE DRIVEWAY FADES AWAY IN A SUMMER STORM.
